"Bondage"

By Pixie

Pixie: Because it's the last chapter, I'd like to take this moment to clear up one thing. This fic is not entirely MY IDEA. As I said in the beginning. An author named Leja Moonshadow (my cousin) came up with a majority of the ideas for Bondage, however, aside from chapter 5, and the Prologue, the rest was written by me, based on her and I's ideas. As for Dragon Skyforest, she was originally going to help, but ended up not helping with this story. Before you call her useless, she's helped clear and straighten out ideas in my other works! Just wanted to clear that up.

Chapter 8: Hostages and Trunks' first kiss!

After all this time, and put under such circumstances, it was only a matter of time before Goten snapped. After all, he had been forced against his will to go live with a girl who had her entire life openly hated him. Not only that, but he'd been forced to live within 10 feet of her. His best friend and everyone he had to live with was turned against him. As a matter of fact, one should be surprised he didn't snap sooner.

Vegeta slowly moved in for the kill, like a lion stalking its prey. No…a rabid lion stalking its dying prey. He moved in slowly as Goten panicked, backing up. Two thoughts remained clear in him mind. The first was that he was gonna die. The second was that it was gonna be painful. He called out to Bra through their bond, as a last resort, but she just got mad at him for using their bond to talk. She hated that. Goten closed his eyes preparing for death when suddenly he saw an image of Bra in his mind.

"Is this the part where my life flashes before my eyes?" Goten had several memories going through his mind at once, meeting his father for the first time, sparring with Trunks, but it kept returning to the image of Bra.

"What…what does it all mean?" Suddenly, like a flash of lightning, Goten thought he figured out what the image meant. He reached out and grabbed Bra, glad she wasn't very strong (for a Saiyan) and held a small chi blast next to her head.

"Back off Vegeta! I'll blast her, I really will!" Goten cried out, stepping back from Vegeta.

Had it been anyone else Goten was holding, Vegeta would have laughed his head off before blasting Goten to pieces. But…it was Bra, his little princess, his baby, and his little girl. He took a step back from Goten, and racked his mind for ideas.

"The Brat! Trunks and Kakkarott's brat are friends, so Trunks should be able to knock some sense into him."

Trunks smiled inwardly, thrilled over finally getting his first kiss…or so he thought. He leaned in close to Pan, slowly and unsure. She closed her eyes, and leaned in towards Trunks, and took it as a sign she wouldn't back away from him. As his lips moved within a precious inch from hers…

"TRUNKS! GET YOUR SORRY ASS DOWN HERE!" The couple jumped apart, only seconds away from Trunks getting a kiss.

"Damn…" the couple thought in unison, before running off to Bra's room. "I was so close!" Trunks thought, shooting a glance over at Pan, only to find her looking at him. "God! Now she must think I'm completely and totally retarded for trying to kiss her! The moment is gone forever and she'll never even allow me a chance to kiss her again!"

Trunks pushed the door open to his sister's room, and almost died trying to contain laughter as he walked into the room. Goten, with a freaky sort of expression that caused the laughter to drain from Trunks, was hanging onto Bra, who had a chi blast too close to her head for comfort. Vegeta stood back, slowly backing up. Bulma had also arrived on the scene and was gently telling Goten to just let go of Bra and they'd talk.

"Come on Goten…just let her go…" Pan's voice joined in the chorus of voices trying to talk down Goten. Each time, he seemed to be about to release her, then he'd glance at Vegeta, and hold on to her tighter.

"No! I won't ever let her go! I'll keep her here right by my side for ever and ever and never let her go, because she's pretty and nice, and I love her, and you'll kill me if I let her go and I'll never get a chance to be with her, and-and-and…I'm gonna die if I let her go…so I won't let her go, Never never nev-"

"How long is he gonna go on like that?" Bra thought to herself, trying to process Goten's words.

"Wait a sec…did he just say…he loved me?…Oh my GOD!! He did! I can't believe this!"

"Oh GOTEN!!" Bra spun around in his arms, until she was facing him, "YOU DO LIKE ME!" She threw her arms around him and kissed him. Bulma squealed with happiness for her child. Trunks sighed, jealous that his little sister was kissed before he was. Vegeta "hmphed" and turned away from the scene. Pan laughed and smiled at the couple.

Goten broke the kiss suddenly and stared at everyone, fear back in his eyes.

"Are you still gonna kill me Vegeta?"

*fin*

~ Vegeta never killed Goten. It took Goten and Bra a week to realize the 10-foot effect of the bond was broken, but they were so disappointed they continued to pretend it was still there. They married a year later.

~ Bulma who hated the idea of Goten and Bra together at first loved the idea of them together more than anyone else in the end.

~ And as for Trunks and Pan…

"This is it Trunks! You gotta go for the kiss! You almost missed your chance once, and your not missing it again! You're all alone with her, she's not doing anything. For Dende's sake…she's holding your hand. What's wrong? There's a pretty sunset that you're watching together. LOOK! She's looking at you! She expects you to kiss her."

Pan watched curiously as strange expressions crossed over Trunks' face. She giggled inwardly she realized he was muttering softly to himself. She listened in, and was shocked to hear he was debating whether to kiss her or not.

"Well, I know the answer to that one!" Pan turned Trunks to face her, and standing up on her very tiptoes leaned in and pressed her lips against his.

~ And so, everyone finally got their happy ending.

Pixie: Its over! No more! What? You want more?!

Alternate endings –

Trunks: All right I'm gonna kiss her… *leans in for the kiss *

*Out of nowhere *-- Lyra342: * runs out, and pushed Pan out of the way, then kisses Trunks*

Gohan: Wait a sec…Why am I in the story? This is all Goten and Bra and Trunks and Pan…Why does this ending include me…?

Pixie: It doesn't *just* include you…

Gohan: Oh God…not you….

Vegeta: *blasts Goten *

Goten: No! I won't ever let her go! I'll keep her here right by my side for ever and ever and never let her go, because she's pretty and nice, and I love her, and you'll kill me if I let her go and I'll never get a chance to be with her, and-and-and…I'm gonna die if I let her go…so I won't let her go, Never never nev-…

Freiza: He's a corpse and he still won't shut up…
